It's shorthand for 'whatever you call the .mc file you generate your
sendmail.cf from.'  By default on FreeBSD it's named according to
what the hostname(1) command outputs, which should be the fully qualified domain name of your machine (ie. pukruppa.net).  You can create the
initial copies of the files by:

   # cd /etc/mail
   # make

which will create files pukruppa.net.mc and pukruppa.net.subit.mc
and then process those respectively into pukruppa.net.cf and 
pukruppa.net.submit.cf

Edit pukruppa.net.mc to make any changes you want, then type 'make'
to rebuild pukkruppa.net.cf and then 'make install restart' to
copy pukruppa.net.cf to sendmail.cf (amongst other actiosn) and restart 
sendmail.  In general, whenever you do anything to sendmail related config 
files including stuff like aliases and access and virtusertable, run
just run make to publish it to the running sendmail process -- you only need
'make install restart' when you modify one of the .cf files.
